Great starter plane for the hobbyist who has some experience with RC

Best Review on E flite E Flite EFL4225 Advance 25e

I started off with Short Course Trucks a few years back, and then my friend decided to get into aircraft, so I decided to get into it as well. I started with a simulator about 6 months before I began to fly real models (very good idea, its harder than you think if you have never done it before, it will save you a lot of money and frustration).

Once you have some experience with the electronic components and stuff like that, building this is relatively easy. They give you everything you need except the electronics (which is why I say you should have some experience beforehand). It does give you recommendations for electronics in case this is your first model experience though.

Took me about 2 weekends to build it at a casual pace. If you know what you are doing you can probably build it in about 3 hours or so.

Super easy to fly (this was my second plane, first being a micro foamie)

Some issues I ran into while building: The steering linkage is not designed very well, I ended up modifying it a little from the original spec to better align it; I grinded into it to move the set screw from its original location. The motor mounting process is kind of difficult, and not all motor mounts will fit. I ended up drilling my own holes to fit attach it, and used nuts as spacers to keep the prop from hitting the body.

It has been crashed at low speed from stalling twice now, with the only damage being a bent prop hub (couple dollars to fix), and the back tail popping off (glue it right back on and patch any tears in the monocoat! You will need a bit of space to fly this, the second crash was because the field was too small to fly at a good speed.

I attached my gopro to the bottom so you can see a birds eye view of the world. This plane can pull a good amount of weight.

This is NOT a toy though, you should not buy this for a young child who has no experience in the hobby, and one who does should be supervised while building and flying the model.
